Owuh a Controlling lulcrcsi In
the Fnrnitnre Factory.
By a deal last Monday Mr. S. F. Cromer,
Vice-President, become the owner of Dr. L. T.
Hill's stock, 2H shares, in the Abbeville Furniture
Factory, which purchase gives Mr. t
Cromer a controlling Interest in that indus- %
trial enterprise. The price paid was Slio per i
share. 1
A.8 the control of that institution has been r
for months a matter of interest to many of g
our citizens, the Press anil Banner has sought
an Interview with Mr. Cromer to learn his s
probable action in reference to the mauage- e
ment of the factory. t
Mr. Cromer?I expect the factory to be run j
. In the future very much as it has been run in j
the past. No radical changes need be expect- i
ed. as far as I am concerned. t
"You are then satisfied with the manage- r
ment?" u
"Yes, sir; I think the factory is well con- t
ducted under the present able management, t
and I see no necessity , for any chauge. I (
think the factory is now run In the best inter- t
estoi me siocKooiciere.
"Do yon expect to become president of the
company ?"
"No; I do not. I am well satisfied with Mr.
Blake's excellent management; and even 11 I
should think changes ought to be made, the
matter will, as heretofore, be referred to the
action of the directors. The fact that I own
a majority of the stock gives me uo greater
power to act than has any other director; I
am only more Interested In the success of the
factory."
"Yon think the factory is making money ?"
"Yes; It Is being run In a very satisfactory
way, and I think the stockholders will be
well satisfied with their Investment. The
business is now so satisfactory that I hope the
company may be able to pay a small dividend
on the first of January. At present our salesmen
are sending In very satisfactory orders."
The capital Btock of the company Is $25,000,
divided Into 250 shares of the par value of
$100. The holders, as far as we have learned,
are as follows: *
' THE SHAREHOLDERS.

These figures add ..251, showing
that we have erred as to the amount ofn?ome- I
body's holdings. Mr. Cromer owns 126 shares, j
All other stockholders own only 124, showing
tbat Mr. Cromer has an undisputed malorlty 1
of the shares.

OFFICERS TALK. j
The Press and Banner sought the President,
Mr. J. R. Biake. He says that the matter of
transfer of the stock has not come before the !
Board officially, and be does not know what i
effect It may have upon Its future policy, i
. The factory has been doing a good business, i
and the stock Is worth the price paid for it. i
The grade of furniture has been highly satis
unit fln/tn poaHv fin I a 1r> t.hn market. I
Mr. D. Barksdale, director, says that he
doesn't expect any change In the management
or ibe admlniBtration of the affairs or
the company. The directors were eleoted at
the annual meeting, to serve for one year
from that time. The directors at the same
time elected the officers to serve for one year, i
or until next May. There can be no chaDge i
In the officers or directors until next May, unless
there shonld be resignations, which I do <
not expeot.
Mr. K. E. Cox, director, thought tbere were ,
times when least said was best, and this wan
one of the times when It was well not to talk.
He bad no unpleasant forbodlngs. and hoped
by a conservative course on the part of
Mr. Cromer that all would be well. He
thought It Inadvisable for the minority stock
bolders to throw away their shares.

T. Larry Qantt in Spartanburg Herald. |
During my recent "tramp abroad'' I spent j
lie most delightful day and night In Abbeville,
S. C., and met ou every iimid with the|
nost unbouuded kindness and hospitality,
am a native of old Abbeville county, my
naternai ancestors being among its earliest
ettiers.
It huR beeu something over thirty vears
ilnce I last visited Abbeville court Bouse,
tnd which was then one ofour small country
owns, like apparently too many places, llvng
on in memory oi the past and slowly pershlng
with tiie dry rol. But it is so no
onger. The spirit, of twentieth progresslvelesH
has seized upon the old town, and jl is
low a busy hive of Industry. I do not know
i city In upper South Carolina with a brlglit>r
or more promising luture than Abbeville,!
>r which is founded on more solid and enluring
prosperity. The machine shops of
,be Seaboard Air Line railway is located at.
Vbbevllle, aud add to the population of the
>lace a large number of splendid citizens
ind high salaried mechanics, many ol whom ,
lave bouuht homes in the town. Then there
s a new SSOii,000 cotton mill, i qulpped with
be most improved macmnery. jum m ,?
jew enterprise, but It ih now on a paying
)asis, and will add much to the wcnltli ami
prosperity of the town. Abbeville also boasts
>ne of the most complete furniture factories
n the youth, and which is turning out. suits
,bat would ornament any borne. The Eureca,
Abbe*ille's beautiful and commodious
jew botel, is equipped throughout with
lome-made lurnuure. And while 011 thin
iubject, 1 must not neglect to eudorse the
Sureka, at which house I stopped, and is
jnder the management of Mr. \V. T. McPull,
1 most genial and popular gentleman. The
Eureka would do credit to a city many times
:he population of Abbeville.
To \V. P. Greene, Esq., and Dr. G. A. Neuf'er
am I Indebted for an evening's drive
>ver Abbevilleand its environs. Mr. Greene
Is a prominent lawyer, of tho firm of l'arker
& Greene, as also secretary and treasurer of
Abbeville cotton mill and President, of the
Eureka Hotel Company. Dr. Neutl'er is a
leading physlclau ot the city.
Abbeville is rich in historic interest, being
Dne ol the oldest settled places In the upcountry,
Its inhabitants were typical South
Carolinians, and tier soldiers tlgured gallantly
in every war our republic lias ever seen,
from tbe Revolution dowu to the Spauish\merlcan
skirmish. The tocsin for onr laie
great civil war was first sounded lu Abbeville
and I bad pointed out to me Secession Hill,
now covered with handsome residences, and
Where at a pUOIlC meeting, luc mm uran.fition
ol southern independence whs made.
rhlR historic spot is a romautlc wooded knoll.
Dear the tireenvllle depot, aud )h visited by
nil tourists. A sister-in-law of Senator Latimer
now owuh this historical spot, and her
tiandsome residence crowns the summit. It
was at the beautiful old Southern mansion
o! the late Armlstead Hurt President Davis
and his cabinet held a meeting, and there
leclded upon an abandonment of the war
and a retreat to foreign chores. Their'final
meeting, however was held at the home of
Gen. Heard, in Washington, Ga., and from
that place our Confederate leaders dispersed,
and Mr. Davis while making his way to'the
seacost,'was captured in Irwiu County, Ga.
Hut it was undoubtedly In old Abbeville that
the abandonment of our Lost Cause was decided
upon, and that tragic event took place
in sight ot the hill from which the first declaration
of Southern Independence was
made; So Abbevlile town is indeed the
alpha and omega of the South's great war for
Independence.
The people of Abbeville have ever been In
tensely loyal to the South. Its cause, and
Its traditions, and while they were the Urst to
advise taking up arms in defense of our institutions,
were the last to yield. Even after
the surrender, a Presbyterian minister was
expelled irom his puipu ror praying ior me
President of the United States. Hih congregation
argued that as the new constitution ol
the United States had not been ratified, it
was turn pastor's duty to have prayed lor the
President of the Southern Confederacy.
This loyal old church 1b still standing, and In
a grand and imposing edifice.
I was shown a Seceder church, and which
denomination descends from those sturdy
aud unconquerable old Christians the Covenanters
of Sco'laud, and which could not be
crushed or subjected by the dragoons of Claverhouse,
or the tortures inflicted by King
James and other persecutors. The Presbyterians.
I think, spranglrom the Seceders, onl v
the latter still observe all the creeds of the
mother church, and are stroug believers iu
predestination. The Seceders are Bincere.
consistent and fearless Christians, and I
honor them.
Abbeville has produced some of tbe greatest
men of the South. I think, that both
John C. Calhoun and George McDuttie were
natives of that county. Col. Armistead
Burt, Foster Marshall, J udge Ward law, J udge
Cothran, Gen. McGowau and many oiber ol
South Carolina's grandest statesmeu and military
leaders lived In Abbeville. Ex-Guv.
John Gary Evans, Senator. Latimer, Hon.
Frank Gary, Judge Ernest Gary, and other
leading gentlemen who have lately conspicuously
figured in politics are natives of Abbeville
city or county. In faot, that county
has been noted for centuries for Its ureal men,
and from the bright eyes and expanded
brows you see in her young men, it is ea?y to
predict that this proud prestige has descended
from sires to sons, and that in future generations,
as iu the past, whether upon the
forum or in the forefront of battle, you will
tlnd tbe sons of old Abbeville leading the
van.
I am indebted to Mr. Hugh Wilson, of the
Press and Banner, aud to Gen. K. It. Hemphill,
of the Medium, for many courtesies.
Abbeville has In her two weekly papers organs
of which she can well be proud, and
lhat growing city owes largely her prosperity
lo their work and efforts. For more than
thirty years the Press aud Bauuer and Medium
have been rival papers, published In
tbe same town, and tbe kindly relations that
have ever existed between them Is an example
for the press of our State. Their .editors
realize the fact that the field is large enough
for both journals, and tbe official aud other
patronago is.equally and equitably divided,
without any attempt on the part of one to
supplant the'otber. Tills happy condition is
1ue to the fact that both Messrs. Wilson and
Hemphill are South Carolina gentlemen to
tbe manner born.
It has ever been the proudest boast of my
life that I was born in Abbeville county, and
[ believe that this feeling is peculiar to every
native of that county. While I moved from
there when a mere boy, my heart has ever
thrilled at the word Abbeville aud the llnsh
aain and sorrow that I saw that grand old
:ounty dismembered, although her bright
(Oung daughter. Greenwood, reflects pride
tnd credit upon the sol 1 from which she whs
:aken.
During my stay at Abbeville I met with the
Host unbounded Kindness on every hand,
uid was made to feel that indeed were I
imong friends and kindred.
That there Is a brilliant future ahead for
\bbevllle even a blind man should see. It Is
n the centre of one of the finest farming secJons
of the south, peopled by braluy, pro:resslveand
intelligent planters. But a short
Uatanceaway flows the Savannah river with
ts unrivalled and undeveloped water powers,
vhlch at comparative slight expense can be
mchalned and brought over clectric wires
?nd used to propel enough spindles and other
nachinery to support a population of a quarer
of a million souls.
I have still many relatives living In AbbeMile,
but only met a few. Among the nuin)er
was the genial Bob Hill. Bob Is what we
sailed him Id the days of ultra Humanism a
auk tankerous, dyed-in-the-wool "antl"; but
'ecognlzlug the fact that blood Is thicker
,han politics, Bob said he would risk contamination
and so gave me an old-fashioned Abbeville
welcome.
1 could write columrvs about old Abbeville
md Its big-heurted, hospitable people, did
Imeand space permit. I am glad that 1
iave formed another link in the chain that
>lnds me to Abbeville by iny youngest son
narrylngan Abbeville born aud Abbeville
aised girl.
And just here let me rise to remark that
Abbeville has ever beeu noted for its queenly
ijd beautiful ladles, and from the lair and
ovely faces that I saw on her streets and In
ler homes, can report that her fair daughters
if to-day maintain the enviable prestige o
heir ancestors.
